Gili stressed that although there had been a change of government in the United Kingdom, the UK was alone in supporting Ukraine. He announced a new package of military support for Ukraine, including:
- a quarter million rounds of .50 caliber ammunition;
- 90 Brimstone anti-tank missiles;
- 50 small military boats to support riverine and coastal operations;
- 40 mine clearing vehicles;
- 10 AS-90 artillery guns;
- 61 bulldozers to help create defensive positions;
- support for previously delivered AS-90s, including 32 new barrels and critical spare parts that will help Ukraine produce an additional 60,000 155mm rounds.
